摘要：

The short-run effects of Covid-19 in reducing CO2 and local air pollutant emissions can easily be outweighed by the long-run effects on innovation. In the short-run, CO2 emissions have declined by 15%, and declines in local air pollutants have saved 200 lives per month. However, there could be a deep impact on innovation in clean energy, leading to an additional 2,500 MMT CO2 cumulatively and 40 deaths per month on average to 2035. But the policy response to Covid-19 is crucial. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
